"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

swim laps under water.
hold your breath, and swim as far as you can... learn to push it till your lungs burn a bit. This will develop your lungs yo.
